[linux-audio-user] Good Sound Card for Pro Multitracking

by Polashek, Matthew

Hi! I am interested in multitracking with Ardour. I have everything up and running and I think it's great! Better than Pro Tools except for MIDI obviously, and hardware. I am looking into upgrading my sound card. (I have a SoundBlaster live and I want something more pro) I think the best option is RME Multiface 24/96 which is apparently well supported by ALSA. Is there another option I should be considering? Possibly something less expensive?

RE: [linux-audio-user] Good Sound Card for Pro Multitracking

by Polashek, Matthew

I am operating with 2 main scenarios in mind. I am a jazz musician so I would like to be able to record live shows and mix PA and Monitors for a quartet so that's about 8 in and 6 out. I need fully balanced inputs to prevent hum on live gigs. The second scenario is using the rig for my recording studio. (a work that is still in progress) I would need multiple inputs and outputs here as well.

Re: [linux-audio-user] FINALE 2000 - WINE ???

by robcanning

thanks for the links, i had another look but still can't see anything up to scratch - i need a gui interface where i can to create large orchestral scores to publication standard, output and transpose instrumental parts, design and import non standard notational symbols etc. etc. besides this i have dozens of scores already in Finale that need to be accessible to me Finale is working pretty well under Wine but i would just like to iron out the few glitches that are there thanks again, rob the link to mscore seems to be broken, or the page is down... -- robcanning <rscanning(a)eircom.net> www.robcanning.utvinternet.com >sorry if this is slightly off-topic but to convert fully to linux audio >i need to be able to use notation - i've seen some of the open source >notation packages and none of them are up to the level of Finale yet. >i'm trying out finale 2000 on the WINE emulator for Linux on Redhat9. >I have put a copy of the maestro.ttf font into an X11 directory and >pointed my .wine/config file to that directory so now i have the font >showing up in finale. >My problem is all the little buttons in the simple entry panel are black >instead of showing up note/duration symbols - most of the other buttons >in the other entry panels are showing up ok. any linux/wine/finale >users out there??? >are the symbols on these buttons connected to maestro.ttf? >- reports of any experiences with using finale within WINE would be >greatly appreciated especially with regards to getting the midi .dll >side of things up and running. >

[linux-audio-user] Re: FINALE 2000 - WINE ???

by robcanning

Hi, Thanks Mikhail for all these notes and to others on the list for their suggestions - I'll give them a try soon. I just have Finale finding the maestro font which i put in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF then i modified the wine conf file to look in that folder I tried to get the midi working by putting the FINMIDI .dll files from finale into /.wine/c/windows/system and now get the message in finale: MIDI is not active unless you have Microsoft's Multimedia extensions loaded. (The Multimedia extensions come with windows 3.1). i wonder is trying to load these extensions in wine the correct approach to getting the midi working?? any thoughts? also i just tried finale 2002 but tip of the day seems to stop the system responding thanks, rob

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] ClockLoop

by Steve Harris

http://plugin.org.uk/clockloop/ A primitive GPL'd commandline loop player. Switches between loops with MIDI program changes or note events. More info on the webpage. Its just something I knocked up ages ago, someone who is good in Pd could make something better in about ten minuites, but I needed this to have low CPU load. Hopefully it will be useful to someone. - Steve

[linux-audio-user] running jack as non-root?

by Hasse Hagen Johansen

Hi Now googled around without results. The question is what is the recommended way to run jack and jack aware applications as a non root user. I saw something about capabilites at ccrma, but I cannot se how it is done (I know it is in the 2.4 kernels). I am running Gentoo with reiserfs, so I hope it doesn't depend on using ext2/3 extended attributes...any recommendations? Best Regards Hasse

[linux-audio-user] config settings for 2.6.x?

by James Stone

I was just wondering if someone who is getting good performance with jack on 2.6.x could post their kernel config file here since I am getting bad levels of xruns in 2.6 where in 2.4.25 with the low latency patches applied, I get none. I am using Debian sid on an Athlon 2500+/ A7N8X-X motherboard with 512MB RAM.. SBLive! and onboard sound chip both give good performance in 2.4.25 but not with 2.6.3 James

[linux-audio-user] Digitech (DoD) RP-10 and Midi controlers...

by Russell Hanaghan

Has anyone ever owned a Digitech RP-10 (Guitar multi fx pedal)and have some explicit info on the midi stuff within? I'm trying to use the midi controllers on the RP-10 to control AMS reverb and delay modules that run on my PA. I want to be able to simply switch off reverb / delays between songs when I'm speaking on the mic. I can get the volume pedal on the board to show as a continuous controller and it pops up in the parameter window in AMS. But the switch pedals, although assignable to midi, dont seem to show. The manual fro the RP-10 states that the midi transmitted data will be from the pedal on Ch 1 and that the other data it sends is "program change" data. That is when you switch from one bank on the pedal to another. But it is not recognized in AMS as is the CC pedal. I'm no midi genius...I wonder what the "program change" data is and what I might use to recognize it within linux audio? R~

[linux-audio-user] Finale+wine update

by Mikhail Ramendik

Hello, Apparently, with the native commctl and commdlg, Finale installation fails (other installers tend to fail as well). Therefore, *first* install Finale, *then* change the config file. It might be a good idea to make the changes app-specific. I'm afraid I don't have time to change this (I use Wine only for Finale). Yours, Mikhail Ramendik
